MANKATO, Minn. -
It won't be long until the flakes start to fly and plows will have to be dusted off.
And thanks to last year's moderate winter, the city of Mankato has plenty of money left in its budget to handle whatever Mother Nature brings.
So far the city has only spent 46 percent of its $730,000 dollar budget, compared to the 70 to 80 percent usually spent in January through April.
Mark Knoff with Mankato Public Works says, "We didn't have a snow emergency and because of it we did not have to haul snow, the majority of the actual budget itself is spent on labor so if we are not out plowing snow we are obviously not charging that labor to the snow budget."
It's a far cry from last year at this time, when the entire snow removal budget had been used up after the record snowfall in the beginning of 2011.
Any money left over at the end of the year will go back into the cities general fund.
